Smoke Tree Wines

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2002

A phenomenal intensity even after 14 years. The structure may not be what it was in youth, but this evolves in the glass even still. Char, smoke, dark berries, ash, and a medley of attractive brett qualities. Wonderful length. — 9 years ago

Wish I had understood what these wines turn into at age 20, back when they were (relatively) cheap and easy pickings. This was excellent, mature and singing with a perfectly grilled steak.

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2011

Brooding nose of leather, smoke olive black cherry tar, dried meat and licorice, deep and complex. Massive but tight on palate, loads of cherry olivine extract, but quite sharp. Very mineral, big mid, acid could be higher. Very syrah, and high caliber juice...far too young to drink though. Give at least 7-8 more years..2011 vintage. — 10 years ago
